In the second sequel to 'Alien', Officer Ripley (Sigourney Weaver)
crash-lands on a mining colony planet worked by convicts. While
coping with the difficulties of being the only woman on a planet
populated by hardened criminals, Ripley comes across evidence that
her nemesis, the resilient alien, may have accompanied her there.
'In the black out visit a bright inn.' So read stickers on the
windows of Watney's pubs all over London. In Brewing for Victory,
Brian Glover shows in lively detail how beer and pub culture aided
Britain's community spirit during the Second World War. From
'Guinness for Strength!' adverts to women shifting casks and
packing coppers with hops, the effect the war had on brewing in
England, and the effect brewing had on the war effort, is explored
from every angle. Beginning at home in Britain and London, Glover
tracks the course of tuns all the way out to the front line in the
army, air force and navy. 'Brewing under the jackboot' is also
considered, with a chapter on breweries in British territory that
had been captured by the Nazis, such as Guernsey. With over 70
illustrations showing war era adverts and bombed out boroughs with
their pubs still standing, Brewing for Victory is a remarkable
demonstration of the Blitz Spirit in action as the public, pubs and
brewers worked together to maintain national social structures in
the face of adversity. Â
